About this care
Welcome to Twinkel Childcare Gouda, located at Willem Barentszlaan 36 in the Bloemendaal/Plaswijck district. We provide warm, small-scale childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely and safe environment. Our location accommodates up to 62 children, divided into two age groups with dedicated, experienced pedagogical staff who create a cheerful atmosphere where your child feels at home every day.
At Twinkel Gouda, we work with a permanent team of committed professionals who have been working together with pleasure for years. This continuity in care ensures that your child always sees the same familiar faces, contributing to a sense of safety and security. Our approach focuses on learning and discovering through play, while maintaining a clear daily structure with a good balance between activities and rest.
We believe it is important that children can play outside a lot and come into contact with nature. Our location has its own outdoor space where children can move freely and discover the world around them. The small scale of our childcare ensures that we can give a lot of personal attention to each child and respond well to individual needs.
As a parent, you bring your child to us with peace of mind, knowing that they are in good hands. We work closely with parents and are open to consultation about your child's development. Our location is open Monday through Friday and we are also open during school holidays, so you can rely on our childcare all year round.Read more
